LG has confirmed that the G Watch R will get a maintenance update in Q3, 2015 that will add Wi-Fi support to it. Google added Wi-Fi support to Android Wear and some of the existing Android Wear smartwatches like LG Watch Urbane, Moto 360 and Sony SmartWatch 3 with the recently released Wear 5.1 update. The G Watch R was missing from this list despite the smartwatch having the same specs as the Watch Urbane, which angered many existing owners of the watch. The official statement from LG also confirms that the original G Watch will not be getting Wi-Fi support ever as it lacks the neccessary hardware.
